25 Amazing Moments In Music
These are 25 of my favorite moments in music. Some of them are from this year, some are not. Only one song per band, except for one band, because they should be listened to. Obviously, the bands have other amazing moments, but these came to mind. These moments are particularly awesome to me, whether it be the music, lyrics, vocalist, or a combination. Enjoy, and let me know what you think. | | 1 | Converge
Dark Horse
1:57-2:23 DARK HORSE RIDE!! TOWARDS THE LIGHT!! | | 2 | Between The Buried And Me
Mordecai
3:34-end. This might be my favorite moment in all of music. "From the reciting of the show to the plip and the shevanel" | | 3 | Exotic Animal Petting Zoo
Every Waking Moment
:32-1:32 Bass riff SLAYS | | 4 | He is Legend
Everyone I Know Has Fangs
2:48-end. "Everybody, everybody I know's got FANGS" One of the more fantastic moments on this album. Also, some resemblance of a scream at the end from Croom. | | 5 | Fightstar
War Machine
4:00-4:12 The choir epically sings over guitar and strings. | | 6 | Dark Tranquillity
Nothing To No One
0:00-:30 Intro. You know what I'm talking about. | | 7 | Insomnium
The Day It All Came Down
4:39-end Niilo growls "So be it, perdition is my home" and the double bass kicks in with the guitar leading over it all. Beautiful. | | 8 | House Of Heroes
In The Valley Of The Dying Sun
3:58-4:08 "Like pieces of the sun, our light shines on and on and on!!" | | 9 | Augery
Aetheral
3:14-3:28 Six string bass solo. Domination. | | 10 | In Vain
In The Midnight Hour
4:41-6:59 The song gets quiet, goes back to heavy riffs, epic trumpets blare, and it all ends with a guitar solo. | | 11 | Thrice
At the Last
1:44-2:24 Amazing lyrics here. Dustin reflecting on his life. "I'm a good man. I'm a good man. Am I a good man?" | | 12 | Manchester Orchestra
Pride
2:34-3:05 Andy Hull sounds pissed. MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE | | 13 | August Burns Red
Thirty and Seven
2:45-2:53 Awesome breakdown. I love how the music stops just for a second, and then it hits. | | 14 | Demon Hunter
Lead Us Home
3:50-4:09 Amazing harmonies singing the last refrain. | | 15 | Glass Casket
In Between The Sheets
2:35-4:12 I'm a sucker for soft parts transitioning to melodic singing in the middle of a death metal song. Ex. See 2. | | 16 | Never See Tomorrow
Hope is Only Skin Deep
3:40-end. Crushing breakdown to end the song. Vocalist gets crazy deep. I'd love to see this live. | | 17 | Hold Your Tongue
0:00-:36 Intro. These guys are a metalcore band from Down Under. They're generic at times, but have moments of glory and a great vocalist imo. Check 'em out. | | 18 | Coldplay
Death and All Of His Friends
2:44-3:08 "No I don't wanna battle from beginning to end. I don't wanna cycle/recycle revenge. I don't wanna follow Death and all of his friends." I almost cry every time. | | 19 | fun.
The Gambler
2:40-3:00 "You swore you'd be here til we decide that it's our time, but it's not time, you never quit in all your life. So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side." I love the emotion in Reuss' voice, and these lyrics...golden. | | 20 | Regina Spektor
Human Of The Year
2:17-3:11 I love the build-up and Regina shows off her beautiful voice. | | 21 | Life in Your Way
Worthwile
2:18-2:46 "And I will labor at your door, but I will labor not in vain. Hope has the answers" Perfect lyrics, and the screaming over the singing is soo inspiring. Gives me goosebumps every time. | | 22 | Horse Feathers
Honest Doubters
1:51-end. Beautiful. The cello plays so hopelessly. Heart-wrenching. | | 23 | Haste the Day
American Love
2:19-end. From where it gets quiet and they sing the round with some gorgeous harmonies. Then, back to a great breakdown with Jimmy screaming as no one else screams "Forgive me for running so quickly to the outside!" | | 24 | The Number Twelve Looks Like You
To Catch A Tiger
3:17-3:22 The music stops briefly and then Jase comes in with bone-shattering lows. | | 25 | Maybeshewill
Co-Conspirators
2:46-3:12 After a build up, the recorded voice ends and the guitar leads over pounding piano and drums. Freaking incredible. | |
ninjuice

ONE DAY THE DARK HORSE WILL COME
6, 13 and 20 are awesome as well | YouAreMySilence
10.06.09 | 1 & 18 are so good. | Mordecai21
10.06.09 | Mordecai | EVedder27
10.06.09 | Can't agree more with that part in 19. Thats my song of the year right now. | metaldude666
10.06.09 | LOOK ME IN THE EYE AND TELL ME THAT I'M SATISFIED ARE YOU SATISFIEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD | WhiteWallStargazers
10.06.09 | 2, 13, 14, 23 rock...but 23 should be higher (at least in a live setting) | metaldude666
10.06.09 | HOW DO YOU SAY I MISS YOU TO AN ANSWERING MACHINE
HOW DO YOU SAY GOODNIGHT TO AN ANSWERING MACHINE
HOW DO YOU SAY I'M LONELY TO AN ANSWERING MACHINEEEEEEEE | YouAreMySilence
10.06.09 | Oh so is 23! | BigTuna
10.06.09 | These aren't in order :) Trust me WhiteWalls, American Love would be up there. | Masochist
10.06.09 | Lots of good stuff on here, namely #'s 4, 11, 14 (one of my favorites from that album), 18 and 23.
NO I DON'T NEED NO OTHER FRIENDS
SO I WILL NOT LET YOU IN
AND IF YOU DON'T GO AWAY
THEN I'M JUMPING OUT THE WINDOW! | WhiteWallStargazers
10.06.09 | oh k bro, just checking | BigTuna
10.06.09 | Yeah, Masochist, I stole this idea from you. It was a fun list to make. | Masochist
10.06.09 | Hahaha, in that case, this entire list = EPIC WIN.
:-P | foxxxy
10.06.09 | 20 and 24 are sweet | Mordecai21
10.06.09 | Actually, you both stole it from my Isis Suxxx list. Bastards. | BigTuna
10.07.09 | We borrowed Mordecai, and we borrowed in admiration. You should be honored. | BigTuna
10.07.09 | And actually, Masochist made a list in 2007 and 2008, so he was first. | Mordecai21
10.07.09 | And that i am.
Hey, did you just smooth talk your way out of this? | Captain North
10.07.09 | 11 is my favourite part of any Thrice song. | Masochist
10.07.09 | Isis Suxxx came in '09; my first list of this type came two years prior. I've literally been doing this for years; it's like a Sputnik institution now--a new year, a new "Masochist's Favorite Moments In Music List."
Shit, I need a life. | BigTuna
10.07.09 | Gotcha. I did kind of smooth talk my way out of that one huh? | Masochist
10.07.09 | By the way, after seeing #4 on this list, I started listening to that album AGAIN. I guarantee some part of some song is going to end up on next year's list (probably the end of "Mean Shadow," or maybe the beginning of "That's Nasty"...drop-G). | Mordecai21
10.07.09 | Yeh Masochist wins | Calculate
10.07.09 | wow. i agree with this list. would also add the last minute of wanderlust - every time i die. gets me every time (i die) | ameypv
10.07.09 | i so love demon hunter for their moments of brilliance | tombits
10.07.09 | For 22 I would have chosen the end of Hardwood Pews, I love that musical saw! Good list. | This Life is Genocide
10.07.09 | holy crap, sooooo much win! 2, 4, 11, 13, 14, 15, 21, 23 ftmfw!! | opblaaskonijn

Great list | magichorze
10.07.09 | Fear Before The March Of Flames - Ten Seconds In Los Angeles from 1:34 - end. | Alligator
10.07.09 | 25 amazing moments in music and not a single mention of the beatles? | ratedrsuperstar
10.07.09 | nothing bad at all.gr8 list | WhiteWallStargazers
10.07.09 | you should switch the He Is Legend to the 1:45 mark onward of I Am Hollywood | Bfhurricane
10.07.09 | Some good stuff on here. | BigTuna
10.07.09 | Word WhiteWalls. That probably is my favorite all time He is Legend moment, although I have been listening to It Hates You lately, so Everyone I Know Has Fangs was on the brain.
